Hello Kat , I have personally passed the three score and ten , and for me
paleontology
and primarily mammogenesis has nothing to do with *age* or your edu.
background
I M O good health and a clear mind , are what really count if you have a
real desire to
learn anything in any field , *DON'T* hesitate a moment , go for it any way you
can ,
you will find all sorts of people that will give you help no matter what the
questions are
or how bad you think they sound . There is nothing so exhilarating as learning
something
new to be a fact , when you might have only held the thought in the back of
your mind kind of teasing you . One more thing , when you get up in years , the
future can look very short so don't put any thing aside for now or think maybe
tomorrow .
Now why did I start into paleontology , since I was a youngster I lived on
a farm with animals and have always
wondered why some legs were digitigrade and some plantigrade , and in those
days I didn't even know the words , when I retired I soon got tired of
traveling , and fishing ,
that is when I set out on a quest to find the answer to this question , and
found far more
questions than answers , My life is very rich learning new things and such
nice people
to meet on the web. I hope this gives you some help and advice from a senior
citizen .
Earl.
